AppDynamics

AppDynamics is a leading application performance management (APM) and full-stack observability platform that helps enterprises optimize their applications and business outcomes. Founded in 2008 and acquired by Cisco for $3.7 billion in 2017, AppDynamics provides deep insights into application performance, allowing developers to trace and diagnose issues in real-time across hybrid and on-premises environments.

As part of the Splunk Observability portfolio since Cisco's acquisition of Splunk in 2024, AppDynamics delivers comprehensive monitoring capabilities including APM, infrastructure monitoring, business analytics, digital experience monitoring, and application security. The platform uses AI and machine learning to baseline normal behavior, detect anomalies, and identify root causes of performance issues.

With over 1,200 employees globally and serving enterprise customers across industries, AppDynamics continues to innovate in the observability space, recently launching Smart Agent to dramatically simplify application instrumentation through intelligent automation. The company's mission is to help organizations see their technology through the lens of business performance, enabling teams to prioritize what matters most while accelerating troubleshooting and resolution.
